[Verse:]Don’t let nobody tell you otherwiseListen to your heartAnd let your dreams flyNever give it up, up, upAnd even when you fog it up and give another tryNever give it up, up, upYou gotta beat itAnd when it rains it pours just stay the courseYeah, and even when you think nobody caresYou gotta believe it gets better

ChorusNobody’s gonna hold me downMe downYa gotta understandWe only have one lifeWe only have one life

I keep my feet upon the groundI gotta realiseWe only have one lifeWe only have one lifeWe’re gonna make itWe’re gonna make itYes we’ve gotta make it workYes we’re gotta make it workWe’re gonna make itWe’re gonna make itYes we’ve gotta make it workYes we’re gotta make it work

[Verse 2:]:Ah yeahWhile looking at the old meAnd thinking back on stuff that all my teachers told meYou know it put that fire in my eyes and though I’m blind to the future, I’mma do it ’cause I owe meYou know, this grind is my religionGot tired of modest livin’Survival was my upbringingMy sky it has no limitMy time is all I’m giving
